Called to Teach: Excellence Commitment and Community in Christian Higher Education

The call to teach means different things to different people. This collection contends however that at the very least faithful work in the teaching vocation involves excellence commitment and community. Representing diverse disciplines and institutional perspectives from a Christian research university the contributors present reflections based on personal experience empirical data and theoretical models. This wide-ranging collection offers insight encouragement and a challenge to teachers in all areas of Christian higher education. Building upon the legacy of thoughtful teaching at Baylor University while looking toward the future of higher education this collection is framed for Christians who teach in higher education but who are also committed to research and graduate training.
